Cranberry Mold – Silicone Resin Mold for Fruit-Shaped Candles & Epoxy Art

What Is the Cranberry Mold?

The Cranberry Mold from THE CRAFT STATION MOLDS is a food-grade platinum silicone mold that captures the round, slightly bumpy surface of a fresh cranberry in lifelike detail. Cast cranberry-shaped pieces in epoxy resin, UV resin, soy wax, soap, fondant, and isomalt for resin jewellery, fruit candle collections, holiday gifting, and cake decorating. Made from BPA-free, non-toxic platinum silicone, this mold is reusable for 100+ uses with crisp detail and easy release every pour.

At ₹180 and in stock, the Cranberry Mold pairs naturally with the Blueberry Mold and Raspberry Mold to create a complete fruit mold collection. Trusted by 5,000+ artists across India, TCS Molds is the go-to silicone mold India source for resin artists, candle makers, and gifting businesses who work in the fruit and botanical art space.

Compatible Materials & Resins

The Cranberry Mold works with the full range of casting materials you'll use across craft disciplines:

Epoxy resin — mix at the 3:1 ratio (resin to hardener) by weight; tint with deep red or crimson colour pigment for a jewel-like cranberry. Add a touch of pearl pigment in red for a translucent, luminous finish that catches the light beautifully. The flexible silicone delivers a glossy finish on the rounded surface and clean demolding. UV resin — pour and cure under a UV lamp for quick production of cranberry resin charms and earrings. Soy wax — pour red-tinted soy wax at 55–65°C pour temperature; add cranberry, cinnamon, or apple fragrance oil with a 6–10% fragrance load for festive scented fruit candles. Paraffin wax releases equally well for sharper cranberry wax pieces. Soap base, fondant, and isomalt are all compatible with the food-grade platinum silicone surface.

How to Use the Cranberry Silicone Mold

Step 1 — Prepare: Clean and dry the cavity. No mold release spray needed for epoxy resin or UV resin. For wax or soap, a light mist on the first few pours helps with release.

Step 2 — Mix & tint: For epoxy resin, mix at 3:1 ratio for 3–4 minutes. Add deep red colour pigment — cranberry resin looks best slightly translucent, so avoid adding too much pigment. A pearl pigment in ruby or carmine adds a jewel finish. Pop bubbles with a heat gun.

Step 3 — Pour: Fill the cavity slowly from the centre. Tap the mold gently to settle and release any trapped air. For cranberry cluster pieces, pour all cavities in the same batch for colour consistency.

Step 4 — Cure: Epoxy resin: 24–48 hours curing time at room temperature. UV resin: 2–4 minutes under a UV lamp. Soy wax: 2–3 hours to set, 24 hours curing time before burning.

Step 5 — Demold: Flex the silicone from the base outward — the easy release gives you a clean, detailed cranberry with a natural glossy finish.

Project Ideas with the Cranberry Mold

Holiday gifting collections — cranberry shapes have strong seasonal associations with Christmas, winter festivals, and Thanksgiving; red cranberry resin and wax pieces make immediate holiday gifting statements. Resin fruit jewellery — deep red cranberry earrings and pendants made with UV resin and a ruby pearl pigment are fast-selling items for resin jewellery artists. Festive candle collections — a cluster of red cranberry soy wax candles with cinnamon or apple fragrance oil is one of the most photographed Christmas gifting products. Fruit salad resin bowls — arrange cranberries, blueberries, and raspberries cast from your fruit mold collection in a clear resin display bowl for a hyperrealistic fruit art piece. Fondant and cake decorating — food-grade cranberry shapes for holiday baking and cake decoration. Gifting hampers — resin or wax cranberries alongside dried botanicals and scented candles create premium winter hampers for corporate and personal gifting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What pigment gives the most realistic cranberry colour?
A: Deep red or crimson colour pigment with a trace of ruby pearl pigment creates the characteristic cranberry jewel tone. Keep the pigment slightly translucent — too opaque and you lose the light-catching quality that makes fruit resin pieces so appealing.

Q: What resin ratio should I use?
A: 3:1 ratio (resin to hardener) by weight. Mix slowly for 3–4 minutes and use a heat gun to remove surface bubbles before pouring into the cavity.

Q: How long does epoxy resin take to cure?
A: 24–48 hours curing time at room temperature. Full cure is required before demolding to preserve the surface detail.

Q: Can I make cranberry-scented soy wax candles?
A: Yes — tint soy wax with red candle dye, add cranberry, cinnamon, or apple-cider fragrance oil at 55°C, and pour at 55–65°C. Allow 24 hours curing time before burning.

Q: Is this mold safe for fondant?
A: Yes — the mold is food-grade platinum silicone, BPA-free, and non-toxic, suitable for fondant, isomalt, and sugar. Do not reuse for food after resin has been poured.

Q: How many times can I reuse this mold?
A: 100+ uses — rinse with mild soap between pours, dry completely before storage.
